The Indian Premier League is more than just a cricket tournament; it’s a cultural phenomenon that draws in over 500 million fans worldwide. And every season, one of the most anticipated moments, even before a ball has been bowled, is the unveiling of the official IPL jersey. The 19th season of the world’s richest T20 league, the TATA IPL edition of 2026, is no different.

The BCCI has announced that IPL 2026 will be held between March 28 and May 31, and with that, all of the 10 sides in the tournament have released their kits. This year’s jerseys are especially special, combining high-performance athletic fabrics with rich cultural storytelling and legacy branding. From defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru donning a gold championship star on their chest for the first time, to Lucknow Super Giants rebranding their entire colour identity, the IPL 2026 jersey season has provided drama and excitement long before a single delivery is bowled.

So, with that in mind, here’s our exhaustive guide, including every team jersey design, price tags for jerseys, as well as details on which players are injured or unavailable heading into the season, to everything you need in one place, even practice match highlights ahead of pre-season.

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) Jersey 2026: The Team that Never Retires

CSK have kept their signature yellow persona intact for IPL 2026. This new design features a bold, camouflage-style stripe down the front, a re-work of the tight sleeve-restricted camouflage look worn by England players in past World Cup tournaments. The blue zig-zag graphics on the shoulders provide contrast, while five stars above the team crest on the left chest signify their five IPL title wins. In front is the UAE’s Etihad Airways as the principal sponsor, while India’s Ashok Leyland takes a position on the right side. The kit manufacturer was not officially revealed.

Mumbai Indians (MI) Jersey 2026: The Mast Gadangaar Mutant

The five-time champions Mumbai Indians have introduced a bold 2026 design concept, retaining the familiar dark blue and gold team colours but with a repeating ‘M’ pattern all over the fabric. The franchise states that the ‘M’ also stands for Mindset, Momentum and Unity values that underpin the MI culture. Gold foil on the shoulders and gold tape along the sleeves suggest flowing waves, a reference to Mumbai’s coastal character. The kit is produced by Skechers, with front-of-shirt sponsorship from Lauritz Knudsen and a key partner place for Malaysia Airlines.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) Jersey 2026: The Champion’s Badge

The most talked-about jersey of IPL 2026 has been released by the defending champions, RCB. The kit, which has been created in partnership with PUMA, preserves the franchise’s distinct red and black colour palette while introducing a single gold star above the team crest in honour of their first IPL title achieved in 2025. The jersey has an ombre effect from flame scarlet to navy at the bottom, and a pattern of lightning vector geos in the weave. Virat Kohli revealed the kit with a post that expressed every RCB fan’s sentiment: prepared to defend what was long-awaited.

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) Jersey 2026: A Legacy of Lines

The theme of KKR’s 2026 kit is ‘Lines of Legacy’, a storytelling format rooted in deeply personal experience. The traditional purple base with bold gold panels is retained, but the fabric now has fine linear geometric patterns, reminding fans of iconic KKR moments in one look, from Brendon McCullum’s record-setting 158* in the first match of IPL 2008 to Rinku Singh’s once-in-a-lifetime five sixes in an over. Above the KKR crest, there are three stars. Vida is the lead sponsor and positioned front and centre.

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) Jersey 2026: Play With Fire

Retaining their identity for the 2026 kit with a full throttle approach, the saffron orange and black jersey signifies their ‘Play with Fire’ campaign theme. The dramatic flame-like and crack-style patterns that run down the front of the jersey give it one of this year’s most visually striking designs. Nitish Reddy was at the heart of the theatrical uncovering video that drove online media ablaze. No one ever looked fiercer than the Orange Army.

Delhi Capitals (DC) Jersey 2026: The Awakening of the Tiger

Delhi Capitals were the last among franchises to roll out their jersey ahead of IPL 2026 as they revealed it on March 19 at a grand ceremony. The kit is a deep royal blue, with red tiger-stripe gradients stretching across the bottom half. The design represents the fearless spirit of this team, CEO Sunil Gupta said in a statement. Inspired by the ferocity of spirit that defines both the franchise and the city of Delhi, Jemimah Rodrigues and Axar Patel were enlisted to help reveal the design.

Gujarat Titans (GT) Jersey 2026:  Navy Blue Thunder

Gujarat Titans have retained their favoured ‘Titans Navy’ colour scheme but added an element of power: a thunder pattern across the fabric. The design represents the serenity, poise and aggressive restraint of the team. In line with its identity as a franchise that comes out with mind-boggling performances under pressure, this jersey is led by Shubman Gill. One star above the crest signifies their first-ever IPL title in their debut season of 2022.

Rajasthan Royals (RR) Jersey 2026: Dual-Tone Gradient Royale

Rajasthan Royals have taken a risk in 2026, opting for the dual-tone look with a dark navy blue top half and deep pink gradients flowing down to its bottom half. The design maintains the franchise’s signature pink identity but gives it a more sophisticated, modern look. But there’s an overlay of a buzzword as the Rajasthan Royals, under the banner of ‘New Look, Same Halla Bol’ head much enriched into this season ahead with a sparkling new look and roped in one of the most coveted signings before the season even began Ravindra Jadeja from Chile to his right hand CSK in what can be deemed as a blockbuster act pre-season.

Punjab Kings (PBKS) Jersey 2026: The Lion And The Diamond

Punjab Kings have brought in one of the more conceptually creative kits of the season with their `Lion to Diamond theme. Fractal patterns inspired by a lion theme emerge from a centre motif of the jersey, fading through blue and red to an overall diamond shape above the waist. PBKS, under Shreyas Iyer and coached by the legendary Ricky Ponting enters 2026 as last season’s runners-ups and are true title contenders.

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) Jersey 2026: The Most Expansive Rehaul

No team made as extreme a visual change in IPL 2026 as LSG. Departing from their previous blue-centric user-interface, the franchise has taken on a bright new look for 2016 that features a red base with deep vertical blues streaked down the front. The team has also introduced a new logo. Inspired by Lucknow’s rich cultural fabric and traditions, the design Fans commented on what they saw as a resemblance to the Manchester Originals’ kit, but LSG’s desire to break forth into a new era is clear.

IPL 2026 Injured Players: The Full Concern List

One of the biggest injury crises before IPL 2026. It has generated tremendous interest among international players with the T20 World Cup 2026 finishing only a few weeks ahead of this tournament, alongside numerous franchise leagues worldwide. More than a handful of big names have already been ruled out altogether, or are unavailable for the first stages of the competition.

KKR are the worst-hit franchise, having lost three frontline pacers without a ball being bowled. Harshit Rana has undergone knee surgery after straining a ligament during India’s T20 World Cup warm-up fixture against South Africa, with the man now all but ruled out for the entire season. Akash Deep is ruled out with a lower-back stress injury that will take around three months to recover from. And Matheesha Pathirana, who suffered a calf strain during the T20 World Cup, would not be available until mid-April.

Defending champions RCB have big concerns over the fitness of Josh Hazlewood, who sat out the entire Ashes series with hamstring and Achilles problems. Meanwhile, SRH captain Pat Cummins is also healing from a lumbar bone stress injury and will miss the initial part of the tournament; Ishan Kishan subs as SRH’s stand-in. Delhi Capitals will also miss the services of their number one pacer, Mitchell Starc, as he is being carefully managed by Cricket Australia ahead of a busy international calendar.

CSK have suffered the blow of losing Nathan Ellis for the entire season with a hamstring injury, and Matthew Short will miss the early games after fracturing his thumb. Sam Curran, who was acquired by the Rajasthan Royals in the trade window, has been ruled out for the complete tournament due to a suspected groin injury, while Jack Edwards, set to debut for SunRisers Hyderabad at IPL 2023, will also sit out with a foot injury.

IPL 2026 Practice Match Updates: Pre-Season Highlights

While franchises are still stuck with injury clouds, IPL 2026 practice matches and intra-squad sessions have kept fans excited for quite some time now. The teams have been working hard during these preparatory weeks, monitoring the rotations of injured players in order to allow young talent a chance to stake their claims on the playing XI.

In terms of memorable practice match moments, it has to be the Kolkata Knight Riders intra-squad game on March 20 when young Angkrish Raghuvanshi made the session his own with a scintillating 103 off only 55 balls. With Harshit Rana and Akash Deep missing, the three-time champions have tried to add depth through trials that featured pacers such as Navdeep Saini, Akash Madhwal, Simarjeet Singh and KM Asif, who were all tested at Eden Gardens.

In one of the headlines coming out of SRH’s intra-squad practice match, where Ishan Kishan stood in as captain on account of Pat Cummins’ injury, a teammate sent him packing with a rather animated send-off, giving the Orange Army some pre-season fodder. The returning Abhishek Sharma, who had endured a lean run in the T20 World Cup thus far, made full use of his second opportunity in one outing, an enterprising 22 not out off just 7 balls that helped crank up the scoring rate during a comfortable run chase.

RCB have worked hard in the nets at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium before taking on SRH in their first game of IPL 2021, on March 28. The absence of Hazlewood does not deter the defending champions, who have settled well with Virat Kohli and captain Rajat Patidar spearheading the camp sessions. Ricky Ponting-coached Punjab Kings, with Shreyas Iyer as captain, have been slogging it out at the IS Bindra Stadium in Mullanpur, although they will be without staff for the first few games as Lockie Ferguson is on paternity leave.

However, most teams, including CSK, LSG, GT and RR, have conducted squad camps at their home venues with a focus on making up for the lost time as far as team cohesion is concerned and adjusting to plans considering absentees owing to injury. MI have inherently been on a search for new pace partners in Atharva Ankolekar’s absence. GT have hit a sweet spot with having zero injury concerns heading into the season, and appears to be the most organised out of all ten franchises in pre-season preparation.

IPL 2026 Practice Match & Training Camp Highlights

Team	Practice Format	Key Highlights
KKR	Intra-squad match (Mar 20)	Angkrish Raghuvanshi: 103 off 55 balls; Rinku Singh: 40 off 24
